The business processes in teaching and studies are largely supported by SAPplus applications. The range of SAP-based online services for students, instructors, and staff is constantly being expanded and enhanced with mobile-capable technologies, e.g. the course catalogue or application to matriculate, which are based on the SAP UI5 technology.
Student administration is the administration of data relating to students and the handling of the necessary steps, from application to withdrawal from the university. In addition to application and withdrawal from the university, this also includes, among other things:
These processes in the interplay between students, the department of students, and the faculties are handled with SAP support and, where possible, with the corresponding online services, such as for the application to matriculate, the change of study program, applications for leaves of absence, or changes of contact data.
Prospective students enter their application in the corresponding online service, which has been implemented with the new SAP UI5 technology. This is followed by an automatic transfer to SAP Student Lifecycle Management (SLCM), where the applications are checked and processed by the Student Affairs department. This includes, for example, the creation of the applicant, correspondence if documents are missing, the invoicing of the registration fee, the approval of admission, and the issuing of the letter of admission.
If admission is granted on the basis of the available files, prospective students will receive an invoice for the tuition fees and will be legally matriculated upon payment of these fees. They will receive their student card, their confirmation of matriculation, and their access details for the UZH Internet and network.
Students already enrolled at UZH are automatically re-enrolled for each semester so that they can continue to claim UZH benefits. Students can use an app in the student portal to submit applications that differ from these, for example:
After enrolling for the semester, students receive an invoice for the semester fees. Once the payment has been received, they will have access to the online module booking and will receive their student cards and the semester certificates.
In the event of the overpayment of fees by mistake, there is an online service through which the entire repayment process, including correspondence and payment transactions, can be handled with system support.
For students of all Bachelor's and Master's programs, the entire course of study is managed using SAP Student Lifecycle Management (SLCM). This includes topics such as credit recognition, module booking, summary of credits, changes of program, and graduation, including diplomas and certificates. Students can also use a wide range of online services to view their summary of credits, book modules, and apply for a degree.
The student portal combines all of the relevant information on studying in one place. The web app offers students access to, for example, their registrations, their personal timetable, an overview of their ECTS credits earned so far, the transcript of records, an overview of their applications, and links to the course catalogue, to the module booking and to OLAT.
From fall semester 2022, UZH offers its students a module booking solution that allows modules to be booked without time pressure and in an efficient and intuitive way.
In preparation for module booking, students must ensure that they have paid their tuition fees. They plan which modules they want to book in the next semester and create a watch list in the course catalogue.
Via an app in the student portal, during the relevant deadlines, the modules from the watch list can be booked or requested. The booking modules (modules without restricted places) can be booked and canceled directly. For request and application modules (place-limited modules), students submit requests or applications during the specified deadlines. Places for request modules are assigned after the request deadline on the basis of the criteria published in the course catalogue. Students who do not receive a place in a requested module will be placed on a waiting list. For application modules, places are assigned manually by the faculties.
Students are informed by email about the assignment of their request and application modules. In addition, an app in the student portal provides them with an overview of all their booking, request and application modules with their respective status. This app can also be used, for example, to withdraw requests and applications during the respective deadlines, to adjust the priority of request modules, or to add comments and documents to application modules.
Employees have access to various apps in the CM portal for module booking, in which they can configure the request modules and the assignment procedure, for example, or obtain an overview of the current requests and applications.
The summary of credits can be accessed by all of the students of the University of Zurich who are enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program or who are enrolled in at least one program with ECTS credits. The transcript of records allows students to view all modules booked, cancelled or completed at the University of Zurich at any time as well as any other credited services, including those provided externally.
The semesterly transcript of records is made available to students electronically in the student portal. If required, copies printed on security paper and certified (where necessary) can be ordered in the portal also.
Twice a year after the grades have been entered into SAP SLCM by the faculties, it is determined which students have failed in each of the study programs. These unsuccessful attempts are recorded in the electronic student file and it is determined in which cases students are even excluded from a program or study program due to too many unsuccessful attempts.
The SAP solution covers all degree programs and study programs at the Bachelor's and Master's level that are awarded ECTS credits. For these courses and programs, it fully supports the process from the determination of students' failed attempts to the setting of bans and the correspondence to the students.
To determine the academic bans, the criteria mentioned in the respective framework regulations are checked and displayed as a proposal in SAP SLCM. The dean's offices verify these and complete the process by setting the bans. In those cases where someone receives a ban on a study program or course of study on which there is an enrollment, a final dismissal is made from it.
The "Study Progress & Graduation" app in the Student Portal accompanies students from matriculation to graduation. This app shows
The semester-independent elements of all programs offered by UZH are mapped down to a module level in the program catalogue in SAP Student Lifecycle Management (SLCM). In the semester planning process, the courses offered in the respective semesters are then created based on the modules. In contrast to the modules, these are assigned a timeslot, a lecturer, and a room.
The UZH course catalogue has many applications, for example:
UZH has a modern course catalogue, which can also be viewed on smartphones and tablets. It offers various search and filter options so that students can search for specific courses. In addition, it offers a calendar view in which time overlaps can be identified and which can also be printed out as a timetable. Students also have access to a storable watch list.
Our expertise database features historical information on events up to 1833.
With the CM portal, UZH employees who work in the area of teaching and studies have a central entry point that provides quick access to the most important applications for their day-to-day work.These include, for example, the timetable, the list of participants or the overview of events held for members of the teaching staff, the application cockpit, or the course catalogue, but also evaluations, OLAT and the Service Desk, etc.
The CM portal meets the latest technical requirements and standards in terms of mobile device access and browser compatibility as well as data protection and has an excellent user experience. The CM portal is easily expandable and thus forms a future-proof technical basis for future (web) projects at UZH.
